1. Pronoun with no specific antecedent: indefinite pronoun

An indefinite pronoun is a pronoun that does not refer to any person, animal, or thing in particular, in other words, that does not have an specific antecedent, such as anything, something, anyone and everyone.

2. Determined by function: case

Cases refer to the grammatical functions of nouns and pronouns within a sentence, so the types of cases are determined by the function the noun or pronoun has in the sentence. In English, there are four main grammatical cases: the Nominative Case, the Possessive Case, the Objective Case, and the Vocative Case.

3. Consistency between subject and verb or pronoun and antecedent: agreement

Sentences in which their subject matches their verb in person, number and tense are in agreement. The same goes for sentences that have pronouns and antecedents.

4. Subject case: nominative

A nominative or subject case is when a noun or a pronoun works as a subject in the sentence. Some examples: <u><em>Rumi</em></u><em> is here</em> (<em>Rumi</em> is in the nominative case) and <u><em>He</em></u><em> is sleeping</em> (<em>He</em> is in the nominative case)

5. Clarifies or renames preceding noun: appositive

An appositive phrase is a noun or a noun phrase that "renames", identifies or gives further information of a preceding noun. For example, <em>Rumi, </em><em><u>my youngest cat</u></em><em>, is here. </em>(The phrase underlined is appositive because it renames the noun "Rumi").

6. Clause with implied subject or verb: elliptical clause

An elliptical clause is a dependent clause that is missing a subject or a verb on purpose because the context in which that clause is being said is enough to easily understand what the implied subject or verb is. Here's an example: <em>Tigor is sleeping over the chair, and </em><u><em>Mishua on the couch</em></u> (Notice how the second clause does not have a verb because we already know that the verb is: "Mishua is sleeping on the couch").

7. Adjective phrase without word to modify: dangling construction

A dangling construction refers to a sentence or phrase that has a modifier (like an adjective, an adverb, or an adjective phrase) but that does not have the object it modifies, or at least, it is not clearly stated, therefore the sentence or the idea is confusing.

8. Points out which one: demonstrative pronoun

Demonstrative point or indicate specific things, elements, people or animals that are near or far in distance or time. They can be singular or plural, and there are four: <em>this, that, these, </em>and <em>those.</em>

9. Two-word pronoun: reciprocal pronoun

Reciprocal pronouns are pronouns that indicate that an action is performed or received by two or more people at the same time. There are only two reciprocal pronouns and they both are two-word pronoun: <em>each other </em>and<em> one another</em>

Anyone down to write me a pear paragraph of king of shadows about the character Nat.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

Nat is a boy who was invited by a theater director to become a member of a theater group that presents Shakesperian plays. Nat accepts the invitation and ends up acting in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Julio Cesar" where he proved to be a very talented and promising actor. However, one day, when he returned home, he felt extremely ill, feverish and sick. He ended up sleeping in his room and was transported through time, waking up in Elizabethan England. On this journey through time, he ends up meeting Shakespeare who is very surprised by his acting ability and invites him to be a member of his theater group. Nat lives very unique and fun moments in Elizabethan England, but in the blink of an eye he is transported back to the future, where he wakes up in a hospital bed, not sure if he really traveled in time, or just had a fever dream.

Nat is the main character of "King Of Shadows" that tells of his adventures as an actor of the Shakespeare Theater company, in the beginnings of the British theater.

What symbolism is found in this excerpt from James Joyce's "Araby"? North Richmond Street, being blind, was a quiet street excep
Goryan [66]

The correct answer is <em><u>option A and option C.</u></em>  In the excerpt, the "school setting the kids free" symbolizes the boys being set free from Church and its impositions. The blind street symbolizes the aimless and drab life on North Richmond Street. Araby is a short story written by James Choice and published on 1914. It is the story of how a boy gets infatuated with a girl, that he wants to buy her a present from the Araby Bazaar. The story is filled with religious and church symbolism. When the narrator says that "North Richmond Street is blind" he is expressing the aimless and dull lifestyle of the community, immersed in religion. He is using the street as a representation of his community and how detached he finds himself from it, as his faith is dying.

It´s beginning ___. ( to snow / snowing)<br>​
maks197457 [2]

To snow.

Why? "It's beginning to snow." makes the most sense. "It's beginning snowing." doesn't make as much sense.
